Ugh. I finally hook up an Echo and install a GE fan dimmer, with the intent of being able to stealthily turn down the fan at night in "whisper mode" since my wife likes going to bed beneath a tornado, and THEN I actually research and find this thread!!
LOL on me. Anyway, my echo gives me an "ok" to "turn on bedroom fan", but as this thread seems to indicate won't respond correctly to anything like faster, slower, high, medium, low. Even when I say "turn off bedroom fan" the command will work, but then alexa responds with "sorry, bedroom fan is not responding" as it does with any of the speed setting type verbiage.
Wait, why can’t you do this with Alexa routines? For faster and slower, trigger a virtual switch for faster, and one for slower that turns off after 1 second. Make a RM rule for each that adjusts the dimmer by a set amount up or down, depending on which virtual switch is triggered.
That's exactly what I did for my system. I have a CT-100 so I have a rule named 'Warmer' that increments the cool setpoint 1 degree, waits 5 seconds, and increments the heat setpoint 1 degree and the opposite for a rule named 'Cooler'.
I happen to also have a 'Google Home' so I can ask it: "Hey Google, what is Thermostat Temperature?" and it will say: "It's currently 75 degrees and heat cool mode is set to keep the temperature between 74 and 76 degrees" (it's in Auto Mode).
Not exactly the same thing, but...
Try "Alexa, Set bedroom fan speed to high" or "Alexa, Set bedroom fan speed to low" -- I can't find any documentation on this, but it does seem to work for me as the magical incantation.
Thanks - but hasn't been working for me. On/off work (although I get 'not responding' as the voice response to one).
I'll research setting up virtual switches and try to let Echo/Alexa control "those" as a workaround method. It'll be a good experience for me to try at least.
Regarding the Stelpro Ki STZW402+ Zwave Baseboard Line Voltage Thermostat 120V 240V...
I was kinda surprised that with 163 total messages in this thread no one commented on this thermostat? Has anything changed since Feb 2018 when you posted this? I don't see this device in the compatibility list and I have an electric baseboard heater I would like to control with my HE and this seems to be the only option.
Can someone please advise about this one asap? Thanks.
I run HomeSeer and ISY for most of my things and ZigBee in Hubitat.
I moved it over to Hubitat and it does include but with no name/information or driver assigned. You will need to name/label the device and change the driver to "Generic Z-Wave Thermostat". Afterwards do a refresh on the device. The full details of the temperature, mode, heating setpoint are brought up and you can adjust the heating setpoint.
@mike.maxwell, I've included the z-wave details from the include. If you can create a driver for this device that would be great as it currently is the ONLY line-voltage z-wave thermostat available for those of us with baseboard heating.
When the device is detected, there will be a "Details" button. Click that and you will see the fingerprint which you can then copy and paste to a message. That would involve resetting to get into pairing mode, and then letting Hubitat detect it again. Don't worry, it will pair as a previously detected device, but you may again have to change the driver. It will give you the opportunity to see and copy the fingerprint though.
